Blood Donor Leave Policy Clause
(NY)

Summary

This New York blood donation leave policy clause governs employee leave for blood donation. This clause includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This clause is intended for private employers. Its language complies with New York and federal law. Generally, no federal laws explicitly require employers to provide employees time off from work to donate blood, except where the employee may otherwise be entitled to leave under another law, such as the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) (29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.). New York law requires private employers to provide blood donation leave but does not require that such leave time be paid. For a policy governing blood donation leave in New York, see Blood, Organ, and Bone Marrow Donation Leave Policy (with Acknowledgment) (NY).
